I think me and the author treaded some of the same ground. I cqnt say for sure but I believe it was vampire hunter d that got.me interested however I do remember project ako battle one red battle one blue.

I guess with piracy depends on the people who use it, I love anime, there are not a lot of titles I don't like, but weather its netflixs or a free website if I like the anime I'll buy it. However there are some criteria; complete seasons, no volumes with just 2 or 3 episodes and a complete story, nothing where the story just ends wjth no resolution school rumble is a great example. I always feel that if a season can not be complete then at least 1 or 2 ovas should be released. I believe funimation releases the best boxsets for the price.

I was die hard anime fan way back in the day I remember media play and suncoast it wasn't until last year that I got bwck into it with the help of netflix. I never knew that there were so.many anime titles and different types. I actually plan on buying a lot of anime on dvd that once bought on vhs.
